[h-cost] Fw: Fabric Advice
Not historic in nature, but can anyone advise other than my suggestion of a vinegar/water spray and brushing with a clean clothes brush?

Re: [h-cost] Fw: Fabric Advice
Bess, I don't know why I didn't realize you were on this list. I think a vinegar/water spray and brushing are a good start; it seems likely that the problem is over-pressing, rather than the actual cleaning process, which means the fibers are flattened and polished. The brush would raise a little bit of a nap and cut down on reflection. If it were just the wool layer, and mine, I'd consider immersing it in lukewarm water to let the fibers relax to something like their original state. I don't think that's a good idea with a finished suit, though.

Are you talking about the one where we are discussing the conference about Arnold and other such conferences or a different one? ♫ Chiara Francesca -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cin Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 11:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [h-cost] J Arnold Vol 4 Happy Dance!
